Trump
hit out hard on his predecessor saying that the Paris Climate Accord
was 'negotiated poorly' by Obama Administration and it was 'signed
out of desperation' leading to advantages to some countries such as
China and India in terms of increasing their coal production.

Former
US President Barack Obama has criticised Trump's decision to
withdraw from the Paris climate deal tantamounting to rejecting
'future' since the agreement was entered to 'help protect for future
generations the one planet we've got'.

One
may recall that the Accord is an agreement within the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) dealing with
greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting
in the year 2020.

Furthermore,
the language of the agreement was negotiated by representatives of
195 countries at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC in
Paris and adopted by consensus on 12 December 2015, of which, US was
an active member.

Moreover,
the Accord was opened for signature on 22 April 2016, at a ceremony
in New York in US that coincided with the celebration of the Earth
Day.

But
now, on June 1 in 2017, President Donald Trump has announced that the
United States would withdraw from the agreement which has dismayed
most world leaders.
